THE BEST Apple Crisp {Serves 2-4}

Every year at Thanksgiving I make a big dish of my famous apple crisp. This was the first dessert I had ever made from scratch. Warm sweet cinnamon coated apples with the most incredible crumble topping. Even a chocolate love like me would choose this dessert, anytime.

It is perfect for individual mini crisps anytime, or you can make a 8x8 inch crisp in a baking dish and let guest take for themselves. Hope you love it as much as my family does!

Combine all dry ingredients together in a
bowl. Cut in softened butter with a fork until mixture is coarse and crumbly. Press
half of the mixture into the bottom of the 4 ramekins (or an 8x8 inch baking
dish). Place remaining half in the refrigerator while preparing apple filling.

Prepare filling:In medium sized bowl, mix the sugars, flour and spices together. Toss apple slices in mixture until well coated. Add vanilla and water over top of coated apples and stir.

Assemble & Bake:

Distribute coated apples over the oat
streusel crust. Remove remaining oat streusel mixture from the refrigerator and
crumble evenly over the apples.

Bake at 350 degrees F for about 35-40 minutes, until apples are tender (but not mushy) and topping is crisp and lightly browned.

Serve them a la mode with 1 batch of my 5 Minute Homemade Ice Cream or your own favorite vanilla ice cream and drizzle with caramel sauce for a finishing touch! Notes: Apple crisp is best served warm, right out of the oven or within a few hours. Keep covered and warm until ready to serve. If you want to prepare it ahead of time or the night before, make the topping and filling separately and keep covered in separate air tight container in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, or the morning of, assemble and bake as directed above.
